Renovation and use as seen and heard through the eyes and ears of Volkswagen Beetle Semi-Automatic 1969 owned by the current owner, and now by his son David since 1979

Monday, 23 July 2007

Welcome to my Blog.

I was born sometime around 1969 and I was first registed by the DoT on 1st of August 1969.My present owner bought me and a couple of pushbikes for £500 in October 1979.

If you didnt know already, I am a VW Beetle, automatic or more correctly semi-automatic or stick-shift. I am Ivory White and my engine is 1500 cc.

Here is my registration document showing change of keeper:

I have just failed my MOT for the first time that I can remember, at least for anything serious.

I needed:

welding

headlights fixing

new tyres

windscreen wipers

new exhaust pipe

Attention to breaks

So far, Ray my keeper and his son David have replaced the front discs and given me new Hella headlights - although this still hasnt solved the problem of my lights being too dim for the road - bloody cheek! ...and hopefully will do the rest shortly.

Hopefully through this blog I will try and give you some information on my past and keep you updated with what is happening now.
